Pauline Hanson skips parliament to speak at $25k-a-head conservative conference at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

One Nation leader also seen with Gina Rinehart – and many of her talking points align with mining magnate

Pauline Hanson skipped Senate duties this week to speak at a $25,000-a-head conservative conference at Donald Trump’s luxury resort in Florida, where she was pictured alongside Gina Rinehart, Australia’s richest woman.

The One Nation leader, who resided at Mar-a-Lago ahead of her address at the multi-day event run by the Conservative Political Action Conference, lambasted both major parties in Australia during the speech while praising the US administration for deporting immigrants, bombing drug cartel boats and supercharging mining projects.

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang turns up the heat on his warnings about the US-China tech race

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang name-dropped six startups playing in the AI agent space.

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has dialed up his warning that the US is falling behind China in AI.
  • He said Beijing’s subsidies are supercharging its tech firms while US rules pile up.
  • Washington has banned sales of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips to China.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has intensified his warnings about the United States falling behind China in the race for artificial intelligence dominance, saying the East Asian nation could soon pull ahead.

“China is going to win the AI race,” Huang told the Financial Times on the sidelines of the media outlet’s Future of AI Summit on Wednesday.

His blunt remarks underscored the shrinking technological gap between the world’s two largest economies, locked in both a trade war and a battle for AI supremacy.

Huang told the FT that “cynicism” is holding the West back — and that it needs “more optimism” to compete.

He pointed to a growing wave of AI regulations emerging across US states, warning that too many new rules could stifle innovation.

By contrast, China’s government energy subsidies make it cheaper for local tech companies to power homegrown AI chips, he said.

“Power is free,” he said.

Later on Wednesday, Huang reiterated his position in a post on X: “As I have long said, China is nanoseconds behind America in AI. It’s vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide.”

Nvidia, now the world’s most valuable company by market capitalization, has faced mounting pressure from US policymakers to limit sales of its cutting-edge semiconductors to Chinese firms.

At Nvidia’s GTC in Washington last month, Huang said the US must stay engaged with China’s developer community if it hopes to maintain its AI edge.

“We want the world to be built on American tech stack,” Huang said at the time.

“But we also need to be in China to win their developers. A policy that causes America to lose half of the world’s AI developers is not beneficial long term, it hurts us more,” he said.

On Tuesday, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said the Trump administration does not plan to let Nvidia sell its most advanced Blackwell chips to China.

In May, Huang said the US crackdown on chip exports to China — which have hit Nvidia’s business hard — was “a failure” as the restrictions were driving Chinese tech firms to accelerate their own AI developments.

Should Newcastle to Sydney bullet train really be first link built of Melbourne to Brisbane route?

Infrastructure Australia wants to know why NSW connection should be prioritised over Victorian, ACT and Queensland sections of high-speed rail

A high-speed train linking Sydney and Newcastle could cut the journey to an hour by 2039, an independent transport advisory body says, but more evidence is needed to justify prioritising that section over Melbourne and Brisbane connections.

Infrastructure Australia said it supported a business case by the federal government’s High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) moving to a further development phase.
